I read on article on Premier Guitar about Lincoln Brewster called Soul Man. The article covers a lot of ground about Lincoln's history, the Christian music scene in general, and, of course, his gear.

I think the conclusions in the article about the state of the Christian music scene are very correct - in fact I posted some of my opinions on the subject in a response to Peter on his blog and they closely match what Lincoln had to say. Now it may be that since I share Lincoln's passion for guitar and guitar-driven songs that I identify with him like I do, but I still have to agree that most Christian music is designed to follow or mimic the mainstream. Rap starts to become popular - all of a sudden there are a bunch Christian rappers popping up.
